Tonik Posted July 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Day one is over. Made it to Joliet IL, and of course we are at a casino. Major rain near South Bend. More reasons to hate Indiana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Ok, Dubuque is a very cool old town. Allegedly we can see three states from here. Just had a great late breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Interesting stop at a Sinclair gas station. 5 grades of gas. 15, 30, 50 and 85 Ethanol. Only low test 10 percent. Glad I don't need premium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Parked in Sioux City Iowa. I remember this place, one of our favorites. Upscale, real cool vibe. Rooms are epic. Party has started with another Jimmy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Parked for the night in Rapid City SD. Fuck the wind on I90 westbound. Happens every time. My old skinny arms are sore as hell and Jesus did it kill the mpg's. I lost abot 50 miles per tank. Still a great day. Cool iron sculptures, prairie dogs and awesome views. Still a long way to go but we are getting there and having a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relentless wind takes a toll on you. Tim must be unlucky. When we did the Iron Butt we had a 40 mph wind from the side from Davenport to 90 and then as a headwind the rest of the way. It sucked. Saw a really grim road kill today on 90 near Murdo. This massive steer. 2 state workers were there with a flatbed trying to figure out how to load it. Pretty sure they are going to need a lift truck or end loader. It was huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Tried to get to Rapid city last week by plane... could not do it. Should have ridden out would have been faster. Instead slept at the Denver airport for a day. Big fun that was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Pretty excellent day today. Early round trip on Spearfish Canyon Rd. Saw some dead people and the geographical center of the US. Ran 90 over to Buffalo WY and ran 16 west. What an amazing road and views. Spending tonight in Cody WY. There is a rodeo tonight we may go to. Edited July 16, 2023 by Tonik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Drive into Yellowstone from Cody was beautiful. Park is not very busy at all. We are now waiting for Old Faithful to do something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Parked in Great Falls Montana. Tomorrow, Glacier National Park and the Road to the Sun. 2100 miles so far. Not quite half way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I need to convince the wife to take a trip like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Heads up before I forget. You need a reservation to ride the Road to the Sun between 6am and 3pm. They limit it to 900 cars during that time. They go on sale for 2 bucks the day before. So you do that or plan it real early or after 3pm.
